Callimachus

Greek sculptor. Working in Athens, he was one of the most important followers of Phidias; his work (as described by his contemporaries) was typical of the refined, mannered sculpture of the second half of the 5th century BC. According to tradition, he was the inventor of the Corinthian capital, and also the first to employ the running borer for drilling marble.
